An Electroreductive Approach to Radical Silylation via the Activation of Strong Si-Cl Bond.
TLDR
This work presents a new strategy for silyl radical generation via electroreduction of readily available chlorosilanes through energetically uphill reductive cleavage of strong Si-Cl bonds, which proved to be general in various alkene silylation reactions including disilylation, hydrosilylated, and allylic silylated under simple and transition-metal-free conditions.
Studies on the preparation of aminobipyridines and bipyridine sultams via an intramolecular free radical pathway
